TIE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

The bill to reoTganlze the Department
Of Agriculture came back to the House,
with the Senate amendments ss en-
bodied In Senator Youmans's substitute.
The usual process is either to concur or
to refuse to concur in amendments, put
in this case, aS the suggestion Of Mr..
Tindal, of Clarendon, who had the bill
in charge, the debate was adjourned and
the Senate amendments were ordered to
be printed. As the bill Gow stands
(passed By the Senate) provision IS nl.sG.aa
for the organization OF the bureSu under
the following system:
''Taat a. department OF agriculture Is

TIE PHOSPHATE BILL.

TIE PHOSPHATE BILL.
The House had a lengthy debate OF
the bill reported by the phosphate COM
mission-which has already been out
lined in this correspondence.
Col. Haskell argued in favor Of the
bill, and Dr., Pope spoke against this
views being, in general, those Of the op-
Donents OF the measure.
De. Pope said that this bill meant tina:
there would be az agreement between
tie land and water companies to restrict
the production o2 phosphate. The com
ni.see asked this Legislature deliber-
ate,y to create monopoly! To drive
oooc men ouG OF the business, and to
give the business to those five fat com.
panies. Itwas mons:rous proposition.
Abiding to Col. Haskell's description o.
the compGca:ea machinery used in d-edg.
ing rock, DR.. Pope in.imated that ths
phosphate companies had introduced
| phosphate tongues into the eyes OF TIE
committee. Ha didn't understand how
those companies could be lsnsuishins
when they offered to pay Sl75,000 pei
annnm for this monopoly. In the course
i Of his remarks Dr.. Pope made the state
